Sintesi e commento / Sullo 0-0 annullato un gol all’ex Bellanova per un tocco di mano, poi le reti dei due difensori
Torino comes to Bergamo with the same lineup that beat Cagliari 2-0 a week ago: Adams central point, Lazaro, Vlasic and Karamoh behind him. Atalanta responds with its usual 3-4-1-2 with Retegui and De Katelaere in attack. But the problems for Gasperini are in the backline, Carnesecchi also gets injured in the warm-up and Rui Patricio plays in goal. Atalanta plays the game but Torino defends neatly and does not concede space.
Until 23′ practically nothing happens, then on the first action the hosts score with the great former Bellanova but, on a Var signal, the referee cancels for a touch with the full-back’s arm at the moment he controlled the ball. At 30′ Gasperini is forced to make the first substitution due to a muscle problem for Kolasinac: Toloi enters in his place. Five minutes passed and Atalanta took the lead: Bellanova’s corner and Djimsiti’s winning header anticipated Coco. However, Torino’s reaction was not long in coming: on 40′ Vlasic gets a spot kick from thirty yards out, beats Lazaro who dishes it into the box where he finds Maripan’s timely header for the 1-1. In 43′, Karamoh tries to light it up, who goes for a conclusion from the edge but fails to particularly trouble Rui Patricio. In the third and last minute of recovery Atalanta has two important chances: in the first Milinkovic-Savic is good at rejecting Brescianini’s conclusion, in the second it is instead Lazaro good at anticipating always Brescianini who was ready for the winning deviation under the goal.
